Kuro jerked awake as her desk phone rang. Grumbling, she answered.

"Hello?" Kuro muttered.

"Get the team down here now. Micheal Jones' house was just broken into." Kyoya's voice responded, before the line went dead.

Kuro blinked, before slamming the cradle of the phone down, hard enough to wake Aguma across from her.

"Aguma! Bao! Chris! Ryuto! Wake up! Jones is about to be dead if you don't get your asses into gear!" Kuro barked out.

The four men snapped to their feet, grabbing their gear.

"Who do you need called?" Ryuto asked, already having his phone out and ready to dial.

"Call Nile and tell him to start hacking into the Jones' estate cameras. We need eyes on the inside." Kuro directed, walking into the elevator.

Ryuto nodded and began dialing.

"Bao, call Julian. Tell him to get his paperwork together for the lawsuits sure to come." Kuro ordered.

Bao did the same.

"Chris, call Nefertiti at the hospital and have her send some ambulances to the scene and have some rooms and operating rooms on standby in case things get messy."

Chris' phone was already to his ear.

"Aguma-" Kuro started, then sighed, "You know what to do."

Aguma simply nodded, his face a grim mask.


The scene was already crowded with reporters from news stations, police cars, SWAT teams, and onlookers.

"Son of a bitch! How'd it get so crowded so fast?!" Kuro cursed, jumping out of her car, eyes narrowed.

From her compiece, Nile's voice answered, "Me. The more people there, the less chance for Davida to escape."

"And there's more of a chance that more people will die, damn it!" Kuro snapped.

Nile didn't answer to that, but replied with, "She's holding Jones captive on the second floor. But she doesn't seem exactly worried. More like... thrilled?"

"That's not good." Bao said, walking up beside his sister, "If she's calm, that means she's got something planned."

Kuro nodded, agreeing, "Okay then. We need to move in. Just C.I.A- it's our case. We'll handle it." Kuro turned to her team, "Suit up! We're going in!"


The flashlights were the only light the group had as the group made their way to the second floor. With simple hand signals from Kuro, the team's motions were completely flawless.

"Okay. You're in front of the hallway that'll lead to Jones' office. And weather you want good news or bad news, I'm giving it to you anyways. Davida's waiting for you." Nile's voice rang in the group's ears.

"Any weapons?" Kuro whispered.

"Besides the gun and cylinder device in either hand? No."

"Cylinder..." Kakeru murmured, "Does it have a red button on the top?"

"Lemme see here... Uh, as a matter of fact, yes." Nile's voice held a frown.

"Call a bomb squad." Kyoya said to his friend, "Now. And your sister. Tell her we may have burn casulaties."

"On it."

Kuro was frowning, trying to think of a plan. She looked over her shoulder when she felt someone tap it.

Her brother.

"What Bao?"

"Here." Bao was handing his sister his gun.

"The hell? Bao? Are you crazy?" Kuro scowled.

Bao growled back, "I have a plan. Take it!"

Kuro hesitated, before taking it, "What're you doing?"

"Stay here." Bao ducked out from around the corner, before slowly starting down the hallway.

"Bao!" Kuro hissed, but refrained from jumping after him. She leaned against the wall, trying to listen, but Bao was speaking in low tones, and a woman's voice was answering him from Jones' office.

After a few seconds, she heard Nile let out a string of angry curses in her ear, and Bao call out.

"Hey, guys! W- why don't you guys go downstairs? Davida and I are just gonna... gonna talk." Bao's voice was slightly shaky.

"What?" Kuro whispered.

"Go ahead and talk Bao, but we aren't going anywhere!" Kakeru called.

Kuro shot the younger Tategami a weird look.

A few minutes later, Kuro noted Bao was slowly backing out.

"Uh oh..." Nile whispered in the group's ear.

Bao suddenly shouted, "BOMB!"

An explosion followed.


Yes I just did that. You'll have to wait till next update to see what happens! *evil laughter*
